Push Hands

[terrie]

Just go back from Push Hands. It's a series of two-person drills for Tai Chi. I've been looking forward to this for months. The frist drill we learn is Willow. Your partner pushes at various parts of your body and you try to not tense up and simply return to a neutral position. It's fun, but a bit odd. The odd part is that someone who don't know very well is putting their hands all over you. That part is going to take some getting used to.

I just started the aikido version of push-hands. I understand where you're coming from.

I'm probably going to be back in Beloit before college starts. How would you feel about my coming up to the twin cities for a visit?

Normally, I'd say great, but things are so chaotic, now just isn't a good time. All you'd see of me is my retreating back as I rushed from one place to another. I'm working two jobs, plus all the stuff to do around the house.
